Plug-in Reference

Make-Up (0 to 24 dB or Auto mode)
Compensates for output gain loss caused by compression. If Auto Make-Up Gain is
activated, the output is automatically adjusted for gain loss.
Attack (0.1 to 100 ms)
Determines how fast the compressor responds to signals above the set threshold. If
the attack time is long, more of the early part of the signal (attack) passes through
unprocessed.
Release (10 to 1000 ms or Auto mode)
Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level when the signal drops
below the threshold. If
Auto Release is activated, the plug-in automatically nds the
best release setting for the audio material.
Limiter
A limiter ensures that the output level never exceeds a set threshold to avoid clipping in effects
following in the chain. Conventional limiters usually require a very accurate setup of the attack
and release parameters to prevent the output level from going beyond the set threshold level.
Limiter adjusts and optimizes these parameters automatically according to the audio material.
Input meter
Shows the level of the input signal.
Gain Reduction meter
Shows the amount of gain reduction.
Soft Clip
If this button is activated, the signal is limited when the signal level exceeds -6 dB. At
the same time, harmonics are generated, adding a warm, tube-like characteristic to the
audio material.
Output
Sets the maximum output level.
Release (10 to 1000 ms or Auto mode)
Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level. If Auto Release
is activated, the plug-in automatically nds the best release setting for the audio
material.

Shows the level of the output signal.
Module Congurator
Changes the signal ow through the three effects. Changing the order of the effects
can produce different results, and the available routing congurations allow you to
quickly compare what works best for a given situation. Click
Module Congurator to
toggle between the following routing congurations:
●
G-C-L (Gate-Compressor-Limiter)
●
C-L-G (Compressor-Limiter-Gate)
●
C-G-L (Compressor-Gate-Limiter)
